Can't open data connection

Post by habla5000 »

Hello to everybody

Since a couple of days I have a problem to download files from a FTP-Server. Neither me nor the administrator of the remote FTP server are aware of any changes made on the configuration.

Version:
BestSync 2012
Deutsche Version Ver7.0.1.9(64Bit)
Premium Lizenz

Configuration:
Port 21
passive mode not activated

Log:
>CWD /users
<550 /users: folder not found
>MKD /users
<550 directory exists
Can not detect server's timezone, use local timezone (-60) minutes.
/users/miller/
>DELE /users/miller/
<450 deletion failed
End detect server functions.
>PORT 192,168,4,100,23,202
<200 command successful
>MLSD /users/miller
<425 Can't open data connection.

What is the problem, why the connection can't be opened?
It looks like a problem with a firewall but as nobody did any change?! Which ports must be open?

Thank you very much for your support!
Kind regards, habla5000

This problem may be releated to the firewall setting.
If you have not use the passive mode, you'd better to set the port range used by the active mode. Following thees step:
1. Click "Option"/"Option" menu, show the "Option" dialog box, in "FTP Active Mode" setting page, check "Limit local ports used by BestSync", and specify a range of port numbers.
2. Add these port to the except list of Firewall Software.
